Audrey Kim Griffin v. HHS - Tdap, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (“SIRVA”) (2026)

Audrey Kim Griffin filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on December 23, 2025, alleging that a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine she received on July 18, 2025, caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). The respondent conceded that Petitioner's injury was consistent with SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and that she had satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation.

Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the Chief Special Master found that Petitioner is entitled to compensation. The case was resolved on entitlement, with damages to be determined later.
